Which excerpt from the speech is an<br> example of antithesis?

adoni [48]

Antithesis is the figure of speech that allows the exposition of two opposing ideas in the same sentence.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The antithesis allows two opposing ideas to be presented together in a harmonious way.

This allows for an extension of a concept, or even to show confusion and uncertainty.

As with all figures of speech, antithesis is used to make texts deeper and more meaningful. Through figurative language.

An example of antithesis can be seen in the sentence:

"Living and dying are the most natural things in the world."

You have not shown the text this question refers to. This prevents me from providing a specific answer, but I hope the information above can help you.

the clan excerpt from eight cousins by Louisa m. Alcott Summarizes what happens after Charlie walks away from Rose. Use key even

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Chapter II - the Clan, from the book Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott.

Rose had visited the Clan.

Seeming unprepared or introverted, she found the presence of her 7 male cousins greeting her entrance all at once somewhat disconcerting. In the 7th paragraph, she is introduced to Prince Charlie's son - Worm.

Whilst she was still getting acquainted with her cousins Prince Charlie walks in shakes her up a little with what she considered to be a "slight" wherein he referred to her as a "little thing". Prince Charlie laughs and makes amends as she objects and walks away.

<h3>After Prince Charlie walks away.</h3>

Soon after he left, Georgie and Will came at Rose, asking if she brought her monkey. They left upon her dissapointing reply. They both left after another question. Then Jamie who was earlier introduced as the Baby demanded to know if Rose brought anything nice. Her response: "Yes, lots of candy".
